I know that an acceptable way to display (this is in a computer program) a full year/month/day date is like so:

2013年5月19日‪

What If I wanted to display the day only? Does the following look right, OK, or weird to native Japanese user? Is the 日‪ character required, optional, or undesirable in this case?

19日‪

In other words, would it look better if it was just the number?

19

    It kind of depends on the context. Where and in what kind of app is it? And for the record it's fine to write the date as 2013-5-9 as well.

You would be better off using the 日. The same in other language, without unit the number does not mean anything.
